"Behind Time and War"
Once upon a time, there was an ancient realm called "Idrih." This world was filled with Raid Bosses, legendary items, and heroes who had proven their power. I, known as
LiL the tank, was recognized for my massive armor and my ability to withstand any blow. Thanks to my ancient armor on my chest, I could no longer endure as I once did, but I was always able to come back to life to protect everyone’s safety on the battlefield. Elisa, known as the healer, was famous for her healing abilities. With her holy healing spell "Healing Light," she was the key to survival for tanks and other heroes. She was also brave and selfless enough to venture into the deepest and darkest corners of the
Tepa Pyramid.
At first, Elisa was just my teammate. I protected her during battle, and she constantly healed me. Over time, we defeated many Raid Bosses together. But one day, in the middle of a battle, we began to feel something more for each other. At that moment, as Elisa touched my armor with her healing spell, I suddenly felt a cold shiver run through me. Something in my heart had changed, but I couldn’t quite understand what it was. Being with her felt like more than just having a teammate—it felt like having a source of trust.
One night, while we were waiting in front of
Tepa, one of our strongest enemies, in the
Tepa Pyramid, I silently sat down next to Elisa. The silence around us hung in the air like a threat. For a few seconds, we did nothing but look at each other.
“Elisa…” I said, not realizing the tremor in my voice. “When did you first notice me?”
Elisa lifted her head and looked at me. “I don’t know… Maybe over time. But the first time I noticed you, I couldn’t think about anything other than protecting you. Slowly, I realized that I didn’t just want to protect you, I wanted to be by your side.”
At that moment, I was so shocked that I could hardly believe her words. “I’m not just someone who stands by your side in battle… You’re the one who makes sure I survive. While no one else could protect me, you’ve always been here.”
For the first time, we looked at each other in a different way. Neither the enemy nor the creatures in the
Tepa Pyramid seemed capable of breaking us apart. We were living this entire battle by forming a bond that required constant help, protection, and healing for each other.
Then, the battle against
Tepa was about to begin. I leaned toward Elisa. “Let’s do something different tonight. Instead of just killing an enemy, maybe we’ll discover something about ourselves. After the battle, if we survive, I’ll tell you everything.”
Elisa hesitated for a moment, but then nodded. “Lil, the whole of Idrih knows you, but I want to truly know you. Your feelings, your fears… everything.”
When the battle began, the bond between the tank and the healer was stronger than ever. I delivered powerful blows to
Tepa, while Elisa healed me, mending my wounds. In the end, we sent
Tepa to the depths of the pyramid, declaring victory in its dark heart. But this time, the only thing worth celebrating wasn’t the battle—it was the new feelings we had for each other.
In the peaceful atmosphere at the end of the dungeon, Elisa and I were left alone. Elisa extended her hand and touched my armor. “The battle is over, but we’re ready for a new beginning. I can only do this with you.”
As I looked at her, taking a deep breath, the fears inside me had disappeared. “Here’s the thing, moving forward together… I want to do this with you, Elisa. Whatever Raid Bosses we defeat, whatever items we collect, there’s only one thing that matters on this journey: being with you.”
We had a strength that bound our hearts together. It was a power beyond wars, beyond victories.
